Radiohead and Jude Law team up in video to #SaveTheArctic

We’ve teamed up with Radiohead and actor Jude Law to make a fantastic video to Save the Arctic.

Take a minute to watch it yourself and then spread the message by sharing it with your friends and family.

Oil companies are using melting sea ice to drill for more of the oil that is causing global warming in the first place. Shell's Arctic fleet will be arriving any day now to begin exploratory drilling off the coast of Alaska this summer.

Commenting on the film, Jude Law said:

"As the Arctic sea ice melts, polar bears are being forced to go far beyond their normal habitat to find food and look after their young. This film is a powerful expression of how our fates are intertwined, because climate change is affecting all of us no matter where we live."

"Right now a handful of oil companies are trying to carve up the Arctic for the sake of their next quarterly results but a global movement is growing to stop them. I stand with hundreds of thousands of others who think the area should be made into a sanctuary, protected from corporate greed for good."

Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke said: 

”We have to stop the oil giants pushing into the Arctic. An oil spill in the Arctic would devastate this region of breathtaking beauty, while burning that oil will only add to the biggest problem we all face, climate change. That’s why I’m backing this campaign.”

The video clip should be sent to the powerful men of the world, to head of States, to principles, to teachers and to our children. They should watch the clip and feel how the ice cap melts day after day. Continue your great work !!!
We need a lot more. As a teacher and photographer, it is very sad what I see. Today we are confronted of a mass destruction of our beautiful planet. World destroyers of the so called planet should be judged as war criminals. Greenpeace and many scientists know more of what lies ahead of us. It is very gloomy and dark...!!!???..

The following rant has nothing to do with Greenpeace, neither have I. It just had to come out as I saw the clip.

People care more for themselves than for polar bears. Therefore it is logical to assume that their self-interest will conflict with their empathy for polar bears. Their empathy for polar bears is addressed beautifully in this clip, but their self-interest is ignored. The twist is that their interests are the same as the polar bear's. They just haven't thought it through and arrived at that conclusion. That's why certain business-suits stay in power and shovel conceptual value into their bank accounts while they promote that the demands of the market should govern the planet. The market demands are in turn governed by the wealthy of yesteryear because these have the corporations and marketing power to dominate media and culture, be it the soda or entertainment manufacturers. The consumers are driven to believe in freedom, but they don't seem to consider that freedom lies in the wealth of the environment necessary to sustain maximal freedom , rather than in the satisfaction they think they will finally achieve at the next purchase.

The masses seem to think that the climate is a necessary sacrifice to maintain financial growth. In reality, our climate IS our financial growth. The reason we're successful as a species is because the earth has been so rich for us to take. Now the balance is shifting. Slowly but steadily, the foundations we stand upon, the environment we adapted to, gets more and more pressured and poor. Our paper/digit economy will reflect that. If we let the real world slide. It will be slow to catch up, just as it today is slow to catch up to the fact that all sensible alarm bells have gone off, but when it catches up, we won't wake up rich.

- Just the stray thoughts of an individual idiot, non-representative of this site or any of its affiliates.

The homeless polar bear or polar bears had a magnificent home: The Arctic. Yes. It's melting like PEAU DE CHAGRIN. 80 to 90% of the world is unconscious of what is happening to the Earth: Climate change, nature's resources diminishing, bird population vanishing and so forth. In the era of video games, video clips, festivals, having fun, having....no wonder we are indifferent. Many of us say who cares ? This beautiful planet gave us everything we need, we didn't give him back what he deserves. We are starting to pay for it and it will be worse. Since industrialization Man went to far, very far. I wonder what will I leave for my children. Nature is Beauty, the Earth is a gift from Someone to us. What did we do to respect Mother Earth ?
Today, greed, money, irresponsibility makes the world go round. I would like to be positive but what I see around me when I walk in the woods with my children make me shiver.

The lost bear is your canary in your coal mine. Maybe t's time to get out of the mine, maybe it's time to get out of the coal and oil business, out of the wasteful consumption business. Any chance that happens, until the party is over, until the crash?

A representative fool, commenting in The Telegraph, writes: "Sorry guys, the polar bear scam dropped of the chart years ago. How about concentrating on some real world problems?"

His kids will be as lost as the bear, when London goes under water. It might be smart to act before Bangladesh and Denmark go under water. But maybe the crash will come before that.
